Specify the Adobe Captivate project name.
-
Select the type of topic that you want to add and specify
a topic title and filename:
-
Demo Topic: Contains slides
from the Adobe Captivate project with the demo.
Note:
Previous
versions of RoboHelp allowed you to launch Adobe Captivate from
within RoboHelp and add topics with the demo output of an Adobe Captivate
project.
-
Step-By-Step Topic: Contains the list of steps recorded in
the Adobe Captivate project. The topic does not include the background
image of the slides but does include images of interactive objects
(buttons, links, and so on) in the steps.
-
Handout Topic: Contains all the slides as they appear with
the layout options you choose.
Note:
To use the Step-By-Step
and Handout topic types, you need to ensure that Microsoft Word
is installed on the computer running RoboHelp.
-
Click OK.
Note:
A new project with the specified name
is opened in Adobe Captivate. RoboHelp is minimized. You cannot
access RoboHelp while Adobe Captivate is open.
-
Record the slides and edit them as required. Save the project
and close Adobe Captivate.
Adobe Captivate publishes the recording
as a SWF file, a step-by-step document, and a handout document depending
on the options you selected. In the open RoboHelp project, you'll
find new topics) added with the output.
The topics containing
the Adobe Captivate output store the absolute path of Adobe Captivate
project in topic properties. Therefore, moving the Adobe Captivate
project is not recommended. RoboHelp project keeps the absolute path
of the captivate project. Later, you can edit the Adobe Captivate generated
topics or SWF file using the same project.
These topics should
be edited with Captivate only. Any changes made within the Design
editor are lost if you update the topics again with captivate.
